Synopses & Reviews

Review:

This volume of essays has a unity and bears throughout the imprint of Quine's powerful and original mind. It is written with the felicity in the choice of words which makes everything that Quine writes a pleasure to read, and which ranks him among the best contemporary writers on abstract subjects.

Review:

Professor Quine's challenging and original views are here for the first time presented as a unity. The chief merit of the book is the heart-searching from which it arose and to which it will give rise. In vigour, conciseness, and clarity, it is characteristic of its author.

I'm translating his first essay from this book- "On what there is" in Macedonian and I must admit it is lots of hard work, so is understanding it. But, it's very good. He is a sharp mind.
